Woman sentenced for her involvement in fatal Red Deer shooting
Sentencing has taken place for a woman charged following a fatal shooting outside a Red Deer Walmart two years ago.
Crystal Lee Maurice, 32, was scheduled to have a two-day preliminary hearing in Red Deer provincial court Dec. 16-17. However, she waived her right to a preliminary hearing on Dec. 16, and pleaded guilty to two of four counts against her.
Maurice was sentenced to six months in jail for theft of a motor vehicle. Court heard Thursday that theft took place the day before the shooting. Maurice admitted to stealing the vehicle of an acquaintance who was trying to help her on Dec. 19, 2019.
That sentence, however, was satisfied by 180 days of time already spent behind bars after Judge Bert Skinner gave her one and a half times credit for time served.
